Why Lightwell Windows Fort Worth Is Hurst’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Hurst homeowners call us because we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we put the price in writing before touching anything. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who is at your door before they knock. We don’t rush a job on Mayfair Drive or a cul-de-sac off Brown Trail, because we know the difference between a good install and a rushed one shows up in the first storm or the first 100-degree day.
We don’t hand you a bigger number at the end than the one we agreed to at the start. Every quote is written, line by line, and the final invoice matches it. When a window on a Hurst brick ranch isn’t square, our techs shim it square. When a gap in the brick veneer could wick rain into the slab, we seal it with backer rod and code-approved sealant, not a can of foam and hope. That’s the difference between a crew that works in Hurst and a crew that just passes through. Keith Yamada, our owner, insists on the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move or touch anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, Explain the price before the work.
We’re Window Installation specialists, not general contractors who dabble in glass. We carry eight manufacturer brands so the recommendation fits your home, not our preferred vendor. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not just the easy ones: if the finished work isn’t right, we make it right, no debate, no countdown.
Styles & brands we work with
Picture Window in Hurst
Picture windows in Hurst are common on the front elevations of 1960s ranch homes, where a single fixed pane of glass frames the yard or the street. The job means removing the old sash and frame, inspecting the rough opening for square, custom-shimming where needed, installing the new fixed unit, and sealing the brick-to-frame gap properly. A Hurst homeowner typically needs this when the original wood picture window has warped, rotted, or taken enough hail to crack the glass. Most picture window replacements in Hurst run $600 – $1,200 per opening, installed, with a written price before we order anything.
Out-of-Square Rough Openings
On a Hurst brick ranch, the original window opening is rarely square. The house settled decades ago, the slab shifted a fraction, and the framing moved with it. If an installer drops a new picture window into that opening without custom shims, the glass unit gets stressed at the corners, the frame bows, and you get a leak or a bind on the first hot day. We check for square with a laser on every picture window job, then shim as needed before sealing.
Brick-to-Frame Sealing
The brick veneer on a Hurst home doesn’t hug the window frame the way people assume. There’s a gap, and if it’s left open or packed with spray foam only, wind-driven rain from a spring storm will find its way inside. We close that gap with backer rod and a code-approved sealant, then flash the top edge correctly so water drains away, not into the wall cavity. Your window should frame the view, not feed the slab.
Bay Window Installation in Hurst
Bay window installation in Hurst typically means a three-panel projection on a living room or breakfast nook, and the cost runs $1,500 – $3,000 per bay installed, depending on seat framing, roof decking, and whether we’re replacing an old aluminum bay or cutting a new opening. The job on a 1960s ranch involves building or repairing the seat platform, setting the side and center units, leveling the assembly, anchoring it to the house, and roofing over the top if it projects past the eave. Hurst homeowners choose bay windows for the light and seat space, but the real challenge is keeping the assembly watertight against Texas hail and spring downpours.
Seat Framing and Roof Decking
A bay window carries real weight, and on an older Hurst home the original seat framing may be undersized or rotted at the edges. We inspect the seat board, sister in new framing where needed, and anchor the unit to the studs with the right fastener schedule. The projection gets its own roof and flashing, because a bay that leaks at the top corner will rot the seat and the wall below it within a few seasons.
Impact-Rated Glass for Hail Season
Hurst sits in the hail belt. Cracked bay glass from a spring hailstorm is one of the most common calls we take on older homes. We recommend impact-rated insulated glass units for bay installations here, not as an upsell but because replacing a center bay pane twice in five years costs more than doing it once with the right glass. The seal carries the warranty, and the glass carries the storm.
We run Window Installation in Hurst jobs every week, and we don’t treat your street like a drive-through. The crew that knocks on your door has worked this neighborhood before.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We carry and service eight manufacturer lines, but for Hurst’s climate and housing stock we most often recommend CGI and PGT for their impact-rated glass, CWS for high-efficiency frames that handle 100-degree afternoons, and ES Windows for architectural-grade units on homes with larger openings or custom sightlines. We stock local parts and sealant for these brands at our DFW office, which means a Hurst customer with a failed seal or a cracked pane isn’t waiting on a slow freight line. The recommendation always fits the home, not our preferred vendor.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Skipped custom shimming on out-of-square rough openings. On a 1960s brick ranch, the original opening has settled out of square. A new window dropped in without shims will bind at the corners, bow the frame, and leak air within the first season. We shim every opening on these homes, no exceptions.
- Brick veneer gaps left unsealed or packed with foam only. Spray foam is not a water barrier. Hurst’s spring storms and wind-driven rain will wick through an unsealed gap and into the slab or wall cavity. We use backer rod and code-approved sealant, flashed to drain.
- Heavy insulated doors hung on undersized jamb depth. When a builder-grade hollow-core door is swapped for a heavier insulated unit on a Hurst ranch, the original jamb often can’t take the weight. Without checking jamb depth and fastener schedule, the jamb splits and the door sags before summer is out. We measure first, then order.
- Original wood windows flagged by code enforcement. Hurst’s nuisance-abatement rules treat visible deterioration like peeling frames or cracked panes as a violation. We’ve had several customers call us after receiving a notice on a hail-cracked picture window. Replacing with an impact-rated insulated unit clears the notice and fixes the draft in one job.

FAQs About Window Installation in Hurst
Yes, Hurst code enforcement inspects permitted window work, and they look for proper flashing, sealed brick-to-frame gaps, square installation, and no visible deterioration like peeling paint or cracked glass that triggers nuisance-abatement rules. An out-of-square install or an unsealed veneer gap will fail reinspection. Call (682) 900-6694 and we’ll explain what your specific house needs before you pull the permit.
The rough opening is out of square, and the installer skipped custom shimming. On Hurst’s older brick ranches, settled slabs and shifted framing mean the opening isn’t square, so the new window binds and leaks at the corner. The fix is removing the trim, shimming the jamb square, and resealing, which is exactly what the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers if we installed it. If someone else installed it, we can still true it up.
Yes, we can open a brick veneer wall for a picture window without damaging the brick face. The process involves cutting the opening to the mortar joints, installing a lintel if the span requires it, framing and flashing the new rough opening, then sealing the brick-to-frame gap with backer rod and code-approved sealant. The veneer stays intact, and the opening sheds water correctly.
Hail damage to windows and screens is one of the top reasons Hurst homeowners call us. Spring storms crack glass, chip frames, and destroy screens, and impact-rated glass like CGI or PGT carries a warranty that covers hail up to its rating. On a house that’s already been flagged by code enforcement for cracked glass, impact-rated units solve the compliance issue and the storm risk in one installation.
Most custom bay window installations on a 1960s Hurst ranch take two to four days on site, after the unit arrives. The lead time on the bay itself, especially with impact-rated glass or a specific brand order, is what sets the calendar; labor on site is the shorter part. We give you the written price and a schedule before ordering, so you know the dates before you commit. Call (682) 900-6694 for an exact timeline on your opening.
